I used to love Icons, but I don’t recommend them right now, and talk as many people as I can over to anything else (well, not Ironman or Dobinson either)
Icon switched to a different seal manufacture a coupe years ago, and this is a very common issue now. So common that lots of shops stopped installing them that I talk to beucase they don’t want to deal with them.
Icon was Donahue Racing back in the day, but Donahue got busted for child porn (not kidding) and the business got bought up by a large corporation that renamed it Icon.
Should of known that after a few years, it would do what most large companies do to their subsidies. Hit hard with advertising, once you’ve got the base, cheapen you’re the product, increase profits as long as you can before they catch on.
It upsets me because I have a set of 32” Icons that have 9 years and 100k? on them, and no issues. On other Icons I’ve had, that I’ve blown on the Rubicon, Dust, or Hammers, it was because they were on a bouncer (not a once lived production vehicle) and that is to be expected. I have called Icon many times for spare parts. The guys would leave the parts at a disclosed location outside so we could pick them up after hours.
That was customer service that just didn’t happen over at King. Which is why I support Icon over all the rest. But then, the Corp that owns Icon go a mess up a good thing.
I hope they go back to the more expensive seals and that way I can recommend them again.
